Kelly's POV

I listened to Thomas's voicemail four times before I deleted it.

His voice sounded softer than I remembered. Warm and sorry, like the man who used to bring me tea when I worked late. That was the worst part. For two years, I had believed that voice.

I know where you live. I'll wait until you're ready.

I put the phone face down on the table. My hand was still shaking. I took a deep breath, finished half a cup of coffee, and went to work.

Ava was already at her desk when I arrived.

  • Revenge on My Ex-fiancé   Chapter eleven

    Adrian's POVSomebody was paying Thomas Bennett to ruin my wife's life.I read the bank record twice, and my hands went cold.Three deposits in four days. Each one was small, and none of them would catch a bank's attention. But together they told a clear story. The money came from an offshore account, the same kind Jonah had traced behind Natalia's company."It is the same pattern, sir," Jonah said. He stood in front of my desk with a tablet in his hands. "Different names, same structure. Whoever pays Natalia also pays Thomas."I leaned back in my chair. "Then it is one person.""That is my guess.""But you cannot prove it.""Not yet. The trail stops at a shell company in the Cayman Islands. After that, nothing."I pressed my fingers against my forehead. A headache had been building behind my eyes since morning."What does Thomas do for this money?""Nothing yet, as far as I can see. He is not working. He spends it on food, and a cheap phone.""A phone.""Yes, sir. We checked his call

I took a deep breath, finished half a cup of coffee, and went to work.Ava was already at her desk when I arrived.Early. Dressed in a neat gray skirt. Hair tied back. Three folders sat beside her keyboard, in the correct order.I stopped at the door. "Did someone kidnap you and replace you?"She grinned. "I stayed up reading.""Reading what?""The training manual you gave me. And your old branch reports. I wanted to understand how you think."I raised an eyebrow. "And?""You write your summary on the first page and put the details at the back. So nobody has to dig for the main point." She lifted a sheet of pa

    Adrian's POVI was standing in the doorway.Thomas had not moved. He was still staring at the grey curtain. But he was slumped. One hand was rubbing the base of his neck.Three weeks ago he had been standing at an altar looking perfectly put together. Smiling like he owned the world.Now he looked lost.I stepped out of the shadows."She's asleep."Thomas jumped so hard he nearly dropped his phone.He turned around. His face showed fear, surprise, and something darker."You.""I know.""What are you doing here?""I could ask you the same question.""This isn't any of your business." His voice cracked slightly. "She's my fiancée.""She was.""She's...""I married her. In front of two hundred people. You were there!"His jaw tightened. And for a second he looked like he was going to punch me. But then he looked me up and down. My simple shirt and old watch. And he let out a laugh."I knew it.""You knew what?""You aren't rich. I know you've got bodyguards and nice cars, but I just coul

    Adrian's POVMy phone buzzed at exactly 6 pmKelly: I'm cooking tonight! Come over please! Don't say you're busy!I was currently in a meeting with the legal department.I glanced at my phone. Then at the lawyer."Cancel the rest."Jonah, who was standing by the door, merely sighed and pulled out his tablet."Sir, your car?""No. I will get a taxi.""A taxi?""Kelly thinks my driver is a friend. If I come in a car that costs more than her building she'll question me.""Ok sir."I rubbed my temples.I had never lost any sleep over running a billion-dollar company for years now. But now I was losing sleep over a girl who thinks I do paperwork.Her apartment was on the fourth floor of a quiet block. No lift.I climbed the stairs slowly, holding my bag of fruit that I had bought from a street vendor. I wasn't sure if I had done it right. I had given the shopkeeper my notes and he stared at them for ages before giving me too much change.Finally at her door.I knocked.The door opened.She

    Kelly P. O.V.I walked into Hawthorne Global Group on Monday morning, and the whole floor fell silent.All of the eyes were on me.I fixed my blazer and continued to walk towards the elevator which opened to the executive floor. A young lady behind the front desk shot up."Good morning Ms. Williams!""Good morning."She would have had no idea who I was three weeks ago.I walked into my new office, which was at the end of the corridor. It had glass walls, a leather chair, and a view of the whole city. I dropped my bag onto the desk.Managing Director.I have worked for this position for the past eight years. All the late nights, weekends, and projects that nobody wanted.There was a knock on the door."Come in."The HR director, Mrs Collins, and a girl walked in.A very young girl. She looked to be about twenty-two. She had long black hair, big eyes, and was wearing a pale pink dress that looked way too fragile for an office. Her heels looked like she wasn’t used to them."This is your

    Kelly's povMy phone pinged.Trending"Omg""Kelly, what is it?" Adrian asked, voice strained.I clicked the link.The video started playing. Thomas appeared, then Natalia. Their naked bodies, their laughing, and Natalia saying:“She’s our cash cow”The camera panned over to the aisle then to me whilst holding the mic. 3 slaps.Viewers: 412,000"They filmed us," I whispered.He said nothing.I scrolled down. My eyes widened.Who is this queen? Slap her again!She was so confident with the mic like a CEO I’m obsessed!Wait, who’s the guy in the black suit? The bodyguards are much though.I looked up and caught him staring."Adrian?""Yes.""Are you okay? You look pale.""Ahem. I’m fine.""But you’re in the video.""You look amazing.""Wh…what?" He blinked.I turned the screen towards him. "Look. There’s a comment that says ‘Cannot due to the husband's height’. And it has 15k likes."His jaw tightened. "Delete it.""No, it’s online. Don’t worry. No one knows who you are. Plus half of t
